The Red Raiders suffered an early injury to linebacker Bryce Ramirez when the Texas Tech defense tried to halt running back Jordan Houston’s run.
During the process, Ramirez was tackled on the left leg by an unintentional teammate, forcing the leg to bend backwards awkwardly. After being transported off the field, the linebacker was wished well by both his teammates and NC State.

The replay was only aired once. It was too gruesome to merit a repeat. Ramirez has only played in one game this season, which occurred the week before against the Houston Cougars. Ramirez has three total tackles in that game.
